NDC Applauds NPP For Prosperous Annual Delegates Conference 2019

NDC Applauds NPP For Prosperous Annual Delegates Conference 2019.

The largest opposition National Democratic Congress NDC has praised the ruling New Patriotic Party NPP for being able to organize a successful Annual Delegates Conference in this festive season.

The Formal Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of National Health Insurance Scheme NHIS Mr Sylvester Mensah delivering a solidarity address on behalf of the NDCs on the occasion of the Annual National Delegates Conference of the NPP held at the LA TRADE FAIR CENTER on Sunday 22nd December 2019, salutes the NPP for the courage to hold a National Delegates Conference during this Christmas season, when the sentiments of the majority of Ghanaians are that of a “Sakoora” Christmas.
" Let me congratulate you for excellent organization of this event. We wish you well in all your deliberations,"

He noted that, the NDC is sincere and committed to the ideal that no party out of government should wish failure for any government. If a government’s programmes are successful, they will inure to the benefit of the generality of our people.

It will be good for the over trumpeted red, gold, green Free SHS to succeed so that the in-coming NDC government in 2020 can sustain and improve it to make it better for all Ghanaians – Ghana will be the winner for that.

In addition, Mr Sylvester Mensah believed that, this time of the year reminds us all of the need for peace on earth and goodwill towards all men. You cannot have peace without goodwill. You need both; and herein lies the challenge to our opposite in government: you have the opportunity to apply these two concepts, so they make a positive impact on the lives of our fellow country-men and women.

We have witnessed policies and regulatory interventions that have had dire consequences for entrepreneurs, skilled staff and customers in the financial sector; we have witnessed mass exiting of Ghanaians from jobs in the public sector, just because they profess to political philosophies other than yours.
Additionally, press freedom is under siege; the continued closure of media houses perceived to be sympathetic to the NDC is a blot on our democracy and undermines tolerance and freedom of expression. It is a legacy no one should be proud of. These are not attributes of “peace and goodwill”. He said

In conclusion he said, NDC is closely observing the deliberate harassment of its National Party Chairman, Honourable Ofosu Ampofo.
To this end, our Christmas message of: "Peace on earth, Goodwill towards all men" should serve as a clarion call and a beacon, providing light and guidance to all our parties in the effort to make Ghana a more humane environment and the great country we know it can be for today and posterity.

NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele" With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah

NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele" With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah Tensions between Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register. Rev Dr Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, vice presidential candidate for the All People's Congress (APC), economist and a lecture at Wisconsin university Accra, has warned that the NDC and NPP's actions during the limited voter registration and special transfer of vote exercise have compromised the register's integrity. "The two major parties were bussing people from their homes to registration centers, encouraging minors and foreigners to register," Dr. Worlanyo alleged. The NDC recently raised concerns upon receiving the provisional voters register, citing bloated electoral rolls in certain polling stations and alleged attempts by the EC to rig the December 7 polls in favor of the governing NPP.

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies....Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer.

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies.... Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer. In recent years, Ghana's cocoa farmers have faced significant disparities in the payments they receive for their hard work. A comparison of current cocoa pricing practices under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government with those from the era of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) highlights a troubling trend: farmers are being shortchanged, while the government profits disproportionately. As of today, the global market price for cocoa stands at $6,470 per ton. With an exchange rate of Ghc 16.35 to $1, this translates to Ghc 105,784.50 per ton in Ghanaian cedis. Given that one ton comprises 16 bags, this sets the price per bag at Ghc 6,611.00. However, the current government pays cocoa farmers only Ghc 3,000 per ton—just 45.39% of the total price—retaining the remaining 54.61%, or Ghc 3,609.52 per ton. In stark contrast, under the NDC government led by J...

Galamsey Fight: Government Must Tread Carefully to Avoid Judgement Debt -- Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah

Galamsey Fight: Government Must Tread Carefully to Avoid Judgement Debt -- Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah The Vice Presidential Candidate of the All Peoples Congress (APC) and renowned economist, Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah, has cautioned the government to exercise restraint in addressing illegal mining activities, popularly known as "galamsey." Dr. Mensah warned that hasty actions, driven by calls from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), could lead to substantial judgement debts. "Many Ghanaians are advocating for drastic measures, including 'shoot and kill' operations and burning excavators at galamsey sites, under the guise of executive directives, which lack legal backing," Dr. Mensah said. While acknowledging the need to stop illegal mining, Dr. Mensah emphasized that such actions must be grounded in law to achieve their intended purpose. "The government must not forget that foreign and local mining firms with prospective mining licenses from the Ministry o...
